Bosnia and Herzegovina have ended their World Cup 2018 qualifying run with a 1-2 away victory in Tallinn, against Estonia. Izet Hajrovic scored twice to make sure the Dragons finish third in the group, behind Belgium and Greece. Even though they ended on a somewhat positive note, this campaign left much to be desired and you can’t help but think Bosnia shot themselves in the foot on numerous occasions, specifically the Cyprus away game, where they let a 0-2 lead slip away, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

But what happens now, more specifically, what happens to the ‘golden generation’ that brought us to our first major tournament?

At the beginning of the 2016/17 season, I wrote a guest piece for Baraz Magazine detailing how this was going to be Edin Dzeko’s “Season of Redemption,” after a lackluster performance the entirety of last year. Dzeko has not only matched my expectations, but he’s far exceeded them.
